Ricinocarpos cyanescens is a compact, native shrub from south-west Western Australia, growing 1.2 to 3 m tall in sandy soils of open forest and woodland. It is grown mainly in its native region and is not a common garden plant, so it suits native or drought-tolerant gardens with good drainage.
Ricinocarpos cyanescens is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a compact, monoecious shrub with narrowly oblong leaves and male and female flowers arranged singly or in small groups.
This species grows in sandy soil in open forest and woodland near Metricup, Arthur River, Boscabel, Kojonup, Cranbrook and the Stirling Ranges.
